Cams and E base gasket

By RW24JIMMY, Posted March 8, 2008

Whats happening guys. I have an 05 s. I already have my Fcr kit from TT and I ordered an Rs2 complete system from TT last night. My question is how hard is the E base gasket to do and can i put the intake cam from hotcams in myself ? I might as well go all in because i have the Mod fever for spring. Thanks guys

Cams are very easy to install.

I've heard for the work the base gasket alone is not worth it.

If the barrel is coming off then why not, but otherwise its alot of work for not so much. (so i've heard)

Money isn't a problem Eddie. My worry is doing the work right. If I lived in Co. I'd have you. I live on Long island, N.Y. I have a guy in Pennsylvania who, where i keep my 2 drz,s that is a pretty good cycle shop. The kit, he should be able to do right? Its not brain surgery is it? How much? and can i order the kit from you?

if hes capable of swapping the base gasket,hes capable of installing the big bore kit.same work.

the kits run about $470.

add stg 1 hotcams and you have a very effective combo that makes almost 50hp.

anyway after having my bike kn it’s side overnight to fix a cracked stator cover .... I come to find out that I also accidentally left the pet cock in the prime position .... constant gas flow to carb ... now my oil smells strongly of gas ... my question is ... was it the bike being on its side that made the gas get into the oil or the prime position on petcock that made this happen ? Or both ? I didn’t ride it much at all after discovering... I assume. I should drain the oil obviously but any other suggestions ? Always appreciated -mark
